With two text lines, can font for Welcome be bumped a couple points larger? And could fonts be assigned a couple of complementary colors from the green pallet to echo the SideBar --bolder for the Welcome (green 2), and subdued for the sidebar use note (green 3)? > You can see some differences to the design, most notably: > > - Create > When playing with that, it started to annoy me that it is _above_ the > separator line, and that it has smaller font size.

On a full 1920 x 1080 pixel HD monitor we see 18 thumbnails and a vertical scroll bar to uncover the rest of the 25 current limit. I like the treatment for the non-thumbnail available icons. Might need to reduce the scale factor for the Math .odf formulas, they are a bit too over size. I've posted up a screen capture of a filled thumbnail view with scroll bar on that size display. <http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n4088188/StartCenter_1920x1200HD_fully_populated_18-thumbnails_with_vertical_scroll.jpg> > Finally - there are still things to fix around accessibility, haven't > changed a bit there; but that shouldn't be affected by the UI freeze, I > still plan to have a look. Good, I've got a laundry list--mostly with Widget sequencing, SC and Template Manager.
